super unleaded floats my boat everytime! more expensive but the grin factor makes up for it!!!! higher octane burns cleaner and more aggresively and is a good idea if ur engine is prone to pinking. ironically u can get better fuel economy with super unleaded as opposed to premium. cold starts in winter are less of a problem
